Abstract: The present invention provides A color cathode ray tube comprising: a panel having a flat outer surface and an inner surface that has a predetermined curvature; and a shadow mask, wherein B2 P2 ? B3 P3 where B1 is a length of a bridge as a distance between holes in a vertical direction at a center portion of the shadow mask; B2 is a length of a bridge as a distance between holes in a vertical direction at four corner portions of the shadow mask; B3 is a length of a bridge as a distance between holes at edge portions of the shadow mask in a direction of a long axis thereof; P1 is a vertical pitch of the holes at the center portion of the shadow mask; P2 is a vertical pitch of the holes at the four corner portions of the shadow mask; and P3 is a vertical pitch of the holes at the edge portions of the shadow mask in a direction of a long axis thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a color cathode ray tube having a shadow mask for selecting colors, wherein the shadow mask satisfies the relation: 5.5 < Rh ( H 2 ) < 8.0 , where Rh is a mean curvature radius in the direction of the long axis of the shadow mask, H is a distance between both ends in a direction of a long axis of an effective surface of the shadow mask, and a mean curvature radius in the direction of the long axis satisfies the condition: Rh = ( H 2 ) 2 + Zh 2 2 * Zh where Zh is a recess amount in a direction of a tube axis at an end of the long axis of the effective surface with respect to a center of the effective surface.

Abstract: In a mask frame for a cathode ray tube in accordance with the present invention, by satisfying 0.80≦a/(Xd/4)+b/(Yd/4)+c/(Dd/4)≦1.25, herein, Xd is a long side length of the mask frame, Yd is a short side length thereof, Dd is a diagonal length thereof, a is a height of the center of the long side thereof, b is a height of the center of the short side thereof, and c is a height of the corner portion, assembly can be facilitated, howling and drop characteristics can be improved, a width of a panel can be reduced, and accordingly the cathode ray tube can be slimed down and light-weighted.
